RE: RC Surfer
Thanx for the info jimi. My esc uses a programming card to set battery type. When I checked it with the card, it turns out it was on NiMh setting. The funny part was, while using the programming card, I pluged in the battery pack AND a 4 cell receiver pack ! Oops! Bye-Bye bec !
It might still work with a reciever pack, but I don't think that would fit in the board. I haven't tried. The only esc my local hobby shop had in stock was an Aquacraft 45-amp job. It does not have a LiPo cut-off, so I'm using HiMhs for now untill I order a better one. At least I can use the surfer, and it seems to work. The seaking 60a seems popular, so I think I'll get one of those.
When I went surfing today, my spot was as smooth as glass. Hardly a ripple ! Yeah, I'll have to do a bit more searching for a better spot.
Checking the local surf report in a good idea. That should help. Am I looking for windy conditions ? I was told you don't want wind. Is this correct ?
Nice pictures, as well. Your guy is an excellent photographer. I can understand him not wanting to shoot video as shooting stills is an artform in itself.
Later, dudes.
